    [not possible] Okay, I'll say it... a second Amp block!

    Last year I wrote this post on TGF, might be interesting for you to read... https://thegearforum.com/threads/modelers-and-aliasing.1815/post-59756 So the real question (which I don't really care about) is: why doesn't fractal allow 4 amp blocks on the axe fx at fm3/fm9 quality? 😬

    FM3 Firmware Version 8.00 beta 1

    That's funny how subjective things are, the SLO is one amp I've never bonded with, but last night I spent an hour playing with it and really digging it for the first time since I have a Fractal device.

    I think that's a bug, that setting shouldn't create any feedback loop cuz it should copy the output only when there's no Out 2 block on the grid.

    Ok, so you're telling us that in your A/B tests you were able to spot or measure something that took 1 year and 3 months for Fractal to be able to measure that same thing? And they needed to invent some novel measurement techniques to do so while you spotted those differences with some undefined...

    Yep, and it's one of those where I hear most differences... but by listening back to the recordings I made for the A/B comparison video I'm preparing (probably I'll publish it this evening), the differences don't seem that huge as when I play, so it's mostly a "feel" difference and for the better

    Update: I decided to momentarily revert back to FW 6.00 and I'm definitely not crazy, the improvement is definitely hearable, on most amps it's subtle but there are a few which stand out like the aforementioned hiwatt, the vh4, the ac-20, some fenders, and probably more.

    Plexi amp on max - is this normal?

    A level higher than what the meter can display? A level that would cause clipping if connected directly to an output? PS: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/meters-basically-useless-without-peak-db-readout.161912/post-1939615
  47. DLC86

    Plexi amp on max - is this normal?

    Afaik there can't really be clipping within a block since everything runs at 32 or 64 bit floating-point, the only place where clipping could happen is at the inputs and outputs. Obviously if the level of a block is too high it could affect in a negative way how some following blocks behave though

    That's totally true, but they're still linear. And I have some news for you: EQs have a time component as well, every type of EQ filters is created by applying group delay, i.e. some amount of delay to a band of frequencies which is what's causing the phase shift that alters the frequency...
